Math Trace
The OSCOR provides the ability to compare two different sets of trace data. Math traces can be
generated from the real time trace, peak trace, average trace, or up to 4 saved traces if they are
currently open on the OSCOR unit. The Math Trace allows a very quick view of the difference between
the Frequency Spectrum of two different locations or the same location at two different times, and is a
very reliable method for detecting sophisticated transmitters that are not continuous transmitters. This
mode is useful to determine the location of a transmitter within an environment by comparing the RF
spectrum of one room to another room.
Warning: It is important to understand that this function is not a true math A-B function. It only provides
the difference spectrum for signals in Trace A that are larger than the corresponding frequency in Trace
B. In other words, the math trace will not indicate signals in B that are larger than A. Therefore, to
highlight all differences between the two signals, it is important to generate two math traces, swapping
the order of the traces the second time.
